CMMI Process Library

The CMMI Process Library is the focal point for the delivery of DCG’s valuable CMMI documents and tools to our customers and now available on-line at the DCG Store.

DCG On-line Store: CMMI Documents
Purchase individual or bundle sets of CMMI Templates, Guidelines, Procedures, Flowcharts and tools using secure credit card payments. It is important to emphasize here that while the Library documents, individually or in a bundle saves our customers considerable time and effort in learning how to structure and write a sufficient set of documents that will capture CMMI process compliance, the Library documents must be viewed as a launch pad into the continuous change management exercise that will achieve and sustain institutionalized CMMI compliance for your enterprise.

The on-line through the DCG Store available assets are an extensive set of CMMI process artifacts which will provide a high quality, cost-effective kick-start to your CMMI Level 2 or CMMI Level 3 initiative. Software process improvement and IT performance improvement are accelerated when these documents and tools are leveraged.

The artifacts include Process Definitions, Templates, Guidelines and Checklists across the range of Process Areas defined for CMMI Levels 2 and 3, which have been built up over many years of CMMI projects. All of these assets can be customized to your particular requirements and cover these categories:

• Policy
• Procedure
• Template/Checklist
• Guidelines
• Rollout Material
• Tools
• Metric Profiles

Within the Library we have built artifacts that focus on a number of integrated areas, including:

• Management (Project Management): Requirements Management, Project Planning, Project Monitoring and Control, Risk Management, Integrated Project Management
• Organization: Organization Process Focus, Organization Process Definition
• Configuration Management: Software Configuration Management, Data Management
• Software Quality Assurance: Product and Process Quality Assurance
• Engineering Practices: Requirements Development, Technical Solution
• Inspections: Verification
• Organizational Training: Organizational Training Curriculum

In a continuous process over the years, these artifacts have been created and enhanced by our consultants as they work on live projects with clients to be compliant with first CMM then CMMI. After customer projects are successfully completed, the project documents considered for inclusion in the Library. If they add value to our assets and we have ownership rights, they are added to the Library after removing any customer references or customer-specific practices.

The abstract listings below are for information purposes and are also available at the DCG On-line Store: CMMI Documents
